When we eat bread at home, we do it for real: we have several types of meat, cheese, spread... This vegetarian-pâté recipe comes from my sister, it is sooooooo good! It goes also perfectly well with this tomato butter . Mix: 250ml of sunflower seeds, grounded 125ml of nutritional yeast 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 80ml of oil 1 clove of garlic 2 tablespoons of tamari (or soy sauce) 125ml of flour (could be nice with whole wheat!) 1 onion, thinly diced 1 raw potato, grated (or pumpkin, or sweet potato, or...) Thyme and basil, to taste Mix and add up to 250ml of water . Depending of what you grated, it could be a bit less. The texture should be like a cake mix, not too liquid, not too thick. Pour in a greased bread form (the thickness should be 2-3cm). Bake at 175C for an hour. Unmold once cold.

A classic for special occasion at our place. A great recipe from one of André's cousin. It can easily be scaled to any kind of quantity. With a hand mixer, mix: 200g of soft (room temperature) butter 200g of tomato paste 1/2 an onion, thinly chopped (I like to fry it a bit) 1-2 teaspoons of herbal salt (beware of adding too much salt if you are using salted butter!) 2 tablespoon of fresh parsley 2 teaspoon of paprika powder (I like doing half and half with smoked paprika) a pinch of pepper Put in air tight containers and store in the fridge.

Yes, this week was "Indian week" :P I have made Naan several times before and never has it been so easy and great than when I used this Jamie Oliver recipe. For 6 Naans In a mixing bowl, mix a teaspoon of dry yeast with a teaspoon of honey and 125ml of lukewarm water . Wait a few minutes until it bubbles. Add a tablespoon (15g) of melted butter , as well as 3 tablespoons of natural yogurt . Mix well. Add 250g of flour (bread or white) , a little at a time, while mixing the dough. Once it is coming together, put it on a floured surface and work with your hands. The dough should be soft and elastic. If too dry, add a bit of water, if too wet, add a bit of flour. Knead for 5 minutes. Put the dough in a bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for an hour and a half, or until it has double in size. Punch the dough with your fist, divide in 6 and roll each portion into an oval. In the original recipe he says to flatten to 1.5cm, but I would advise to go thinner than this (...

We love Indian food. Ok. At this point one might wonder: is there any food you don't like!? Actually, YES! Anyway, point being: Indian food is great, but it is even greater when it is simple so one can prepare few dishes and make a "Indian buffet" of sort. This recipe is sweet and savory and so simple you will wonder where all this great flavor comes from. It is adapted from a Sorted Food recipe. For 4 people. Warm up the oven to 150C. Cut 500g of cooked chicken into bite size pieces (you can use beast or any other cut you might like). In a pan on medium heat, pour 300g of mango chutney , 2 teaspoons of garam masala and 2 teaspoons of curry powder . Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Mix 500g of natural yogurt with 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise . Add the chutney mixture and the cut chicken. Pour in a oven compatible dish, cover and bake for about 40 minutes. Serve topped with sliced almond and coriander , on a bed of rice.
